Allen v. Milligan

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the district court's preliminary injunction, holding that Alabama's 2022 congressional redistricting plan (HB1) likely violates §2 of the Voting Rights Act. The Court reaffirmed that §2 applies to single‑member districts and rejected Alabama's proposed race‑neutral benchmark test. The decision rests on the established Gingles framework and a clear‑error review of the lower court's factual findings.
